World Aids Day

Though I am one day behind , World Aids Day was Dec. 1, it is a disease we must pay attention to and help find a cure for daily. Nearly one fourth of people are infected with HIV and don't even know it , nearly 1,078 cases of aids were associated with 13-14 year olds, 5,626 cases in 15-19 year olds, 36,225 in ages 20-24 ,and 117,009 in 25-29 year olds. There are 22 million adults (15+) in Sub -Saharan Africa ,380,000 in the Middle East/ North Africa , 1.2 million in North America, 1.7 in Latin America , 32 million people globally are infected with Aids, and sadly 2 million child deaths have occurred as of 2007 , we need to do all can to help spread the word and help find a cure even if it buying products that support charities , like the Red Brand at GAP where proceeds go to AIDS relief in Southern Africa , or the Until There's A Cure fund which sells bracelets where all the proceeds go to Aids relief , celebs like Kim Kardashian and Hilary Duff rock the bracelets, and another way to show your support and that you care is to get tested regularly , it is the only way to protect yourself and the people you love , the greatest power you have in yourself is having the information available to you.
